I just started playing on the Rodcet Nife server(been on Bristlebane since '99) and my first day I found this sword in the Bazaar for only 50pp!!!! I nearly wet myself when I saw it;My heart raced as I hunted down the vendor;and I danced for joy(literally jumping out of my chair) when I purchased it! Thank you,whoever the vendor was(I was so overwhelmed I hit reset button on my comp;it was still on me when I logged back,but vendor was gone). Just goes to show,you never know what you can find for a bargain. Gindorn

Sword of the Morning procs at level 50. The weapon procs a 50hp direct damage spell and a 6 second stun. It's very useful when tanking as I commonly like to chain stun mobs. Excellent for keeping the aggro. With STR buffs I have managed to hit for as high as 76hp in damage. It's an awesome addition to the Paladin's 1H slashing ******** I will be keeping this one for a long time. I paid 2500pp on the Rodect Nife server.

At level 41, my Pally (alt) is getting hits up to about 62 (dex 203)with an average in the high 40s. Looking forward to seeing this thing proc... only 50 damage but the stun will be a welcome addition. I bought this sword when my pally was about level 15 for about 1.4k and have been very happy with it.

I just purchased one of these yesterday on Ayonae Ro for 1,000pp. I have Haste Belt so I'm kranking out about 20 dmg/sec optimum (not including damage bonus). Very nice sword for 1K. I need to get about 4 more levels to get the thing to proc for me though. I'll post again once that transpires and clue you in on the frequency of the proc.

wow seems there are alot of good deals out there on this. I myself just bought it for 1800pp on the tarew marr server. Our average price is between 4-5k for this. The guy was just auctioning it off. I think he upgraded and didnt really feel like hanging on to it. I turned around and auctioned off my centi longsword (magic) for 1600pp..so i was out only 200pp for this great sword! Good luck and safe travels all.

1) 2 people have said that Tisha's Clash Procs on this weapon at level 1) 50 and 2) 60. Can anyone confirm the level when this Proc really does go off? I can confirm it doesn't at level 45. I was told 45 was the level for this and it keeps telling me my "will is not sufficient".

2) I have seen the posts that say Tishan's Clash does a 6 sec stun and 50 DD. Can someone else confirm this?

I was perusing the Bazaar earlier today, picking up some new gear for my main Shammy, when a guild mate asked me to see if there was a Sword of the Morning for sale up there. Well, lo and behold there was one for sale.

The sword was being sold for 100pp. Can you believe this? Is it possible? Am I making this up?

No, I'm not making it up. I checked out the stats and couldn't figure why a weapon of this caliber was selling so cheaply. So I just went ahead and bought it for my 31 Pally.

For those of you who don't have Luclin yet, I implore you to get it as soon as you can if you'd like to easily find items to make your PCs much more effective.

I also managed to raise my Shammy's wisdom by 12 and her ac by 16 for less than 1k, and that's including other various stats that came with the gear.

Use the new UI and search out whatever is an upgrade for you. You'll be amazed at what you can find. This I promise you!

I bought a sebilite scale coat in the bazaar for 15pp. It was not on a trader, a guy was auctioning it. He then went on to sell a set of donal's vambraces for 25pp.

All cheap deals are not typos. In this guy's case, this equipment was stuff that too him was "too junky for his twink". He apparently didn't want to just destroy it, and didn't want to encourage beggars, so he sold it cheap.

That was almost certainly a typo by the person selling it. I've seen lots of crazy deals in the Bazaar... 400pp for a Thick Banded Belt, 250pp for Tribal War Boots, to name two. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether someone accidentally entered the wrong price, or is just overly desperate to sell their wares. In the case of the TBB, that was probably desperation, but the TWBs, I'm fairly certain the seller intented to enter 2500pp. But the deal you described takes the cake. :)

On Tunare, the Sword of the Morning still sells in the 3k-4k range... normally. Even though it doesn't proc until level 50, this weapon will easily overtake the damage output of a Wurmslayer by the mid-30s. And it looks pretty sweet too, especially when paired with a Sarnak Battle Shield.

Wurmy stinks to this blade for one 40 delay is slow i dont care of its 25dam 40 delay you will do more damage with this blade. Ive owned one for a long time first off proc is nice as it is a big time taunter. 60 is max you have done? At upper levels ive hit for upper 80s with it. And last you dont have to depend on haste for this weapon. CH

Posted:Jun 07 2002 at 9:18 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) A guildmate gave me this sword to try out. On paper is sounds nice, but in reality this sword isn't so great. For damage/delay, you can't beat a wurmie. The most I've seen this hit for is in the mid 60's. Usually it hits in the low 30's. Wurmie hits tops in the low 100's, and averages in the 60's.

You must have some crappy strength or something. My 22 paladin has a Sporali Defender's Blade (17/37) and he averages about 38 dmg per hit, max hit for 46. He is slightly twinked with 154 str using yaulp but that is all. Get some more str items before you post some average damage on good weapons and say they stink.

Wow.... 30k, 25k, 17k, 7983pp? You guys are on the wrong server. I payed 4,000pp for mine on Druzzil Ro. Oh, and for all you dwarf paladins, don't waste your money on barbed ringmails, and other crappy stuff. Look into some enchanted dwarven armor. High AC, +str, +sta, SV fire and magic on every piece.

Hi I play a Pally on the new Antonius Bayle server, bought one of these for 7k at lvl 47 and lvled fast till 49, but what happens is that i see the frustating message "Your will is not the sufficient to command this weapon" and then i go mad, it's me or the sword prod has been put at lvl 50 51? Thkz to everyone who helps)

Even with two hand bash, one hand slashing won't be insignificant. Using 1hs and a shield gives your ac a nice boost. I use 2hs when I'm mostly just trying to dish out as much damage as I can, and 1hs with a shield when I'm tanking.

Earn my respect and you earn the blessings of Marr. Earn my contempt, and you will never again walk in the light.

You can always use Flash of Light and all of the stuns paladins get (Stun, Cease, Desist, Holy Might, Force....), and normal taunting to keep aggro. Nothing like magical stuns to get monsters psd off at you. I have noticed how sensitive those Umbral Toilers are to stuns. Many times I have only stunned them once while they are on a warrior, and I get serious aggro. Sheesh calm down little alien! lol

There *are* better weapons out there, of course... but that can be said by practically anyone. Very few people will ever get "the best weapon in the game" for their class, whatever that may be... and even then, people will argue over ratio and bonuses and procs to no end.

End of story is that this sword is ungodly. Uber. L33t. Ph4t. Superpimp. Whatever you want to call it. First off, it has a better than 50% ratio, at 16/27... in *ONE HAND*. I've had Warriors and Rangers alike screaming about how they'd give up to four times the price of the Morning for a sword like it they could use. Even though paladins can't dual wield, the fact that this thing is fairly quick helps paladins contribute to taunt (which is the main point of tanks on raids).

Then you see that it has a proc that does a fair amount of damage.

Then you throw in the fact that it's a stun in addition to damage. Stuns are not only extremely useful, but they're also high-degree taunts. Any paladin knows this.

Then you add in the +10 Dex on the sword, which (among other things) improves proc rate.

.. now, are there better swords out there? Uh, yeah. However, there's *ALWAYS* going to be a bigger and better thing to use, particularly with Luclin coming out. Paladins, worship this sword if you get the chance to nab it. This is a taunt machine as well as whipping out great damage. Best of both worlds. :)

Im trying to gather loot in FM with my Guildy Pally friend, for one of these. I dueld a Pally with one and it proc'd like 9 times. its a 6 sec stun and 50dd dam. Pretty nice! BTW the pally kicked my ****! but thats ok. prob more fearsome fighting high HP mob's. High Agro, but thats the point right?

Futhermore peeps in Inny sever is selling them for 8k. I think Pallys should get discounts cause they are so Honnorable class. "as long as they play there char right" Pallys are cool. 2 thumbs up :-D

I have always wondered if I should buy an SoM or a Frostbringer. Well my decission was made and I went for the SoM. OMFG, I love this sword. I have used it mainly in Velks because I have only had this sword for 4 days, but it produces mad procs. ****, I have even added divine might and I proc between 4 and 8 times or more per mob in Velks. And with me casting both stun and holy might, not to mention bashing with a shield, as well as Tashan Clash and divine might proc... casters beware /emote Tenniel grins evily

Hehe.. I was in HS with my guild.. And me being the only pally was lucky enough to get a guardians mace.. 14/24 proc guard bard/pally only.. Ne who, to my surprise.. I found out the mace was worth ALOT of cash.. So, I sold the mace for about 11k.. I need'd a better BP, since my EBCP was about 30lvls old.. So, I purchased a Froggy Bp fer 4k + my old used,worn EBCP.. So bout 5k..

Then.. I was running through WC with my alt bard, and saw, "WTS Sword of Morning".. I figured hey, I'll ask'em.. I say "How Much".. HE tells me 8k.. I'm like OMFG.. Ne who.. I paid him 7969pp for it.. It was a chanter, guessing with a twink warrior, cuz she ask'd if I had a lammy to trade..

Ne who.. hehe.. I went and tested it out on Sgt. Slate.. I got about 15 procs in that fight.. That doesn't include the 2 procs that didn't stcik, and doesn't include the Divine Might procs... My Dex is 140.. So, I get boon'd and I'm sure this will proc like mad.. hehe

On a side note.. I think we pallies should rally together and get VI to make Boon and DM stack.. For those of you who don't know why it doesn't stack, it's because Boon has a spell based proc, and DM is a spell based proc.. I would much rather have the DM then a life tap.. hehe

And the other peep who posted there are better weapons out there now it right, how ever if your in a small guild and don't get to raid places like Sleep's,ToV this is prolly the best 1hs you can get..

Ne who, sorry for rambling on.. Just really excited about getting this weapon.. Have fun..

Wolvbane 51 Cavalier of the Tribunal "Circle of Lemmings" "almost a hero of the coldain"

First of all this sword has a proc of 50DD stun. Which is a good proc. Next yes it procs a LOT. And with boon it procs like mad, BUT you cant have boon and divine mignt, they dont stack. Anyways basically this sword is real good against caster mobs that are below 55. Most mobs above 55 are unstunable so the SOM is bacically worthless. There are many other 1hs out there now that have a better dmg/dly now. No drop darkmetal falchon, dragon-claw shard, sword of blessing, and ToV weapons galore. Of course those weapons are much harder to get except the sword of blessing. A no drop sword in VL.

well i just purchased my SoM for 16k on fennin ro and wiped out my banked account. It was well worth it though, this sword totally kicks ***. My str is kinda low being a half elf and i hit for mid fiftys average. So for all u dwarfs with your uber strength just imagine what damage u could do with this bad boy! It is the best 1hs in the game for a pally below the massive dragonclaw shard ( 24 30 +3 wis +3 int uber as **** :)) so i definately reccomend this weopon to all you pallys who love one hand slashing

Just for information : Proc is casted every 3 hits with about 120 or 130 dext (proc is 5-6 sec stun 60dd), combined with boon of garou + sham buff it s easy to have 255 so the proc is casted every 2 hit, u can combine that with the quest spell "divine might" (70dd, random time) + Bashing from a "Sarnak Battle Shield" and u have a real KILLER... this sword is REALLY better than a wurmslayer, wurm add 5AC but every 2 or 3 hit u stun 5 to 6 secs and u make 50dd... Lvl of Proc : level 50 for paly it s THE BEST 1HAND SLASHING... better than this item u have Fiery Avenger and Fiery Defender... i don t think something is more usefull in a group or in an event on "no-giant zone" (not in Kael for example)... Dropped place : One of the most difficult place of sebilis, rare drop of rare spawn. Price : on Solusek ro i saw 25kpp... but i traded SoM + Sentry choker for my jade mace (15k) + my KD (6k)

There are alot better 1hs discovered now, but this still rocks. Just a little prob whith what you said though. "combined with boon of garou + sham buff it s easy to have 255 so the proc is casted every 2 hit, u can combine that with the quest spell "divine might"." Devine might and boon of the gurou dont stack. :( Along with the other quest proc spells, like the rangers 32 dmg one. Would be cool if they stacked though, could get DM to go off alot, but thats why they dont stack.

Moss is a Shadow knight only 1h blunt. 19 damage 29 delay +10 intelligence. On The Rathe server its 1 to 1.5 k Its really a nice weapon and I recommend using it into the 40's or until you get the cash or chance to loot a Noct Blade.

Your posteing in the wrong place bud. Nobody cares about your stupid MoSS. Anyway I hope to get this for my next sword. I've yet to see a better tradeable weapon for a Pali. This is kick **** and the first 1h slash I have wanted to use since Ghoulbane in lower guk.

Does anyone know the drop rate for this weapon? I'm planning on getting one for my pally, I'll probably never see that kinda of plat at a level where I would actually want to use the sword, but I have access to a 49 Shammy that has a sebilis key and could hunt there. I just wondered if anyone knew about how long I could count on having to camp it :).

i was wondering why sk's get weapons like the Moss which is 19 29, this weapon is good and i was thinking that paladins didnt get a good waepon that is around 4k and then i did some research and i found the sword of the morning wich is a awsome weapon for us paladins but agian it is worth a whomping 16k !!! why cant we be givein a weapon like the sk's? i know it would not be as good but somthing close to it maybe, and to not that the Moss has better attack and delay.
